Singing in the Round

Singing in the round is a musical technique where a group of singers perform the same song starting at staggered intervals, creating a layered, harmonious effect. Each singer begins at a different point in the melody, and as they continue, their voices intertwine and overlap, producing a rich, continuous sound. This approach fosters a sense of unity and communal participation, allowing the piece to evolve dynamically. It is often used in choral settings, songwriting exercises, and group improvisations to develop listening skills and ensemble cohesion.
